Spring Markets featuring Mama's Locally




The spring weather is finally here (feels more like summer - but hey I'll take it).  One of the things I look most forward to in the spring is the opening of all the markets.  Our very own local Farmer's Market begins this weekend and I can hardly wait to take the kiddies on our weekly adventures through the town.  We usually start off at the market and then stop in at some of the local shops.  Last year they offered face painting and music in the park once a month.  I'm hoping they'll do the same this summer.

Another Market I'm very excited to share with you is the Mama's Locally Pop-up Market.  It happens once a month at the Bolton Community Centre and gives local vendors the opportunity to showcase their stuff.  Many of the vendors sell items geared towards babies and young children but there are several other tables featuring artwork, jewellery, bath and body items, food and women's fashion...each month they switch it up providing a fun a unique shopping experience.  I personally have thoroughly enjoyed my time there and I've also managed to find some adorable items for my kids as well as for myself.

A little background info from the sister duo who started it all...

"We decided to join forces and create Bolton's pop-up market.  We ourselves are local shoppers and found that Bolton didn't have a market like this.  It was certainly lacking.  So we decided to create Mama's Locally, where once a month pop-up markets can be provided to the public.  Our goal is to showcase our amazing community vendors that continue to inspire us with their handmade products."

So if you're looking for a fun and affordable shopping experience be sure to head on over to their next event.  All the information can be found below.  You can also get up-to-date info by following these two entrepreneurs through social media.  You'll find them on Instagram and Facebook.  Here is the direct link to their website: https://mamaslocally.ca/  


Some of the fun things I picked last weekend for both my girls.

I bought this entire outfit at the first market in April.

Irelynn's hat was also purchased there.

Next market:  
June 24th 10-2 at the Albion Bolton C.C. (150 Queen Street South, Bolton, Ontario).

Some other great reasons to go:
  • free parking and admission
  • activities for the kiddies
  • lots of great gift ideas
  • something for everyone!
  • you're supporting local vendors and our community

Have a great week and hopefully I'll see you at the next one!

To My Grandpa on his 100th Birthday

    On Sunday my grandfather turned 100 and we had a beautiful celebration.  I promise to post photos from the event once they are ready...I can hardly wait to see them!  Today I decided to share my speech completely unaltered.  If it sounds like I'm talking, it's because I literally recorded myself talking to myself about my grandpa...then I typed out what I said - almost word for word.  It truly helped me to speak from the heart and talk about the memories I'll have forever...   For my grandpa on his 100 th birthday…   My grandfather was born on February 18 th , 1918…fast forward about 64 years, and that’s when I came into the picture.   And that’s where I’m going to start.   My grandfather has been a part of my life as far back as I can remember.   At a very young age my mom and I moved into a neighbourhood in North Mississauga.   Not long after my grandparents moved into their home just one st...

On A Positive Note

I hope everyone is staying home and staying healthy.  What an unbelievable time we are living in right now.  Most days seem completely manageable, but some days I question if I'm even going to make to the next🤔. Despite this crazy, chaotic, some days memorable, other days questionable, and needless to say - an unforgettable period in our lives, I have managed to recognize some of the more positive things...in no particular order. 1.  My kids can and do eat peanut butter every single day for lunch #noallergies #winning  2.  After being a stay at home mom for the majority of the past 9 years, I was questioning if I was really ready to step back into my career as a teacher...it's only day 23 of this quarantine - but yup it's been determined, I am definitely ready to go back to work. 3.  I think after all this, those parents who maybe didn't fully appreciate teachers or comprehend the full extent of what they do - will now perhaps have a c...

Easter 2020

Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter in quarantine!   So Friday morning I actually made my kids dress up and do a quick photoshoot on our front porch.  Just because we're not celebrating with family this year, doesn't mean all of our traditions have to be put on hold😜 My two girls were pretty excited to wear new matching dresses, so I didn't have any issues getting them ready.  My little guy Jack loves putting gel in his hair, so he was pretty easy to convince as well.  As for my oldest, he absolutely hates getting dressed up for anything, so basically I gave him an ultimatum...extra schoolwork next week or a few pictures - and you have to smile!  He obviously went with the second choice (and he gave me the best smile ever) ha!   Despite the freezing cold temperatures that morning, we actually got some really cute photos...in record breaking time! No matter how you're celebrating this year, may you ...
